I`m sayin..first heard this, I was like, `this is me`
We got Asheru.. `This is ME!`
[beat comes on]
[softly] Ill Will, Earthquake
Goes a little somethin like this...
Aiyyo my man got me wide, I`m listenin to beats inside the ride
I put my love in so when you drivin down the street
And you got this beat on, it`s hot `cause the heat on
And if you got that fat shit, then put repeat on
I pop your ass like a clutch, to get you started
My man farted and the whole crowd parted
You know my shit is so together, I carry clever across the cleft
Like soundwaves and ravage in his chest
It`s not a matter of bein wack or not
It`s about - who got your back when shit gets hot
In the crowds, I`m cultivatin props, I grow rocks
And stock breaks, manipulate the art and create
See, when I first started my heart was in the right place
Then they changed the game and I still kept pace
So now I`m in the place, and I`m in the house, and I`m comin back
You know this nigga`s name--Blue Black
Walk in, at the party, see who`s spinnin, was some nigga
Are you high or wide, I`m just dolo lookin fly
Ghetto-pretty in the city of lights
And the ass out, finger-poppin hips and lips
Lookin way past, sweat her, `cause I can`t let her know I want her
So I lounge a look lost, cost effective?
When it`s time to ante up, panties up her ass
So tight, I need a rinse to work a nut off
C?? freezin?, while I`m seizin silhouettes
Let`s wallow in the wetness--Check this
I been a b-boy before I been away, but the b in me`ll never go away
I`ll stow away on a ship, I`ll seal my lips ? and escape
You know- I create funk flow
`Cause I`m not caught up, I thought of a way to speak and spoke:
The Unspoken Heard is no joke
[everyone talking]
Yo, I glaze from purple haze to daze and amazin phrases
I`m thinkin bout money `cause it pays
So is you is, or is you ain`t an entertainer?
I`m a writer, or retainer?, I make art like a painter
I represent the remnant, the remainder
I don`t know how to make this point plainer
But brothas who supposed to be, I was hostin a show
I wasn`t s`posed to be, lookin at this brotha close to me
And even he wasn`t who he was supposed to be
So I`m trapped in the circle (just trapped in the circle)
I`m very present in the room I`m in
Presentin ill rhythms when the track begin
It gets me open and my rhyme falls in, but even ?? times
See I`m not complainin but the shit is dreamin
The game face kid - entertainin - the world is a show
You d`know? See you got to show and tell to get to go
So I create this energy, this synergy.
[simultaneuous rhyming] It`s above and beyond me, it`s on me
I make it since it`s so divine, more sublime
Surrounded by mendacity, but yo, that`s the time
And every time I present, the present tense is tension
But that wasn`t even mind`s intention.. DC!!
[everyone talking]
[Ill Will kicks an amazing freestyle]
